Laminin



What is it? Well..it is the protein that holds us together. Literally...look it up in any medical book or journal. I am in a group called MOPs. Mothers Of Preschoolers. At our first meeting, they showed us a video clip made by Louie Giglio, where he talks about how big and awesome our God is and then explains Laminin. You might wonder, Why would a pastor start talking science. Well...let me explain...using another persons blog. This person wrote it so eloquently that I am borrowing what he said...so here he is....

M51 or the whirlpool galaxy astronomers call it the "darling of astronomy." last year, Louie Giglio show us two things about this galaxy in the deep reaches of space.

1.) Every second there are new stars being born. Millions of star incubators are found within the whirlpool galaxy.

2.) Not only that, but at the center of this galaxy is a black hole which the Hubble Telescope took a picture of...and wow, check this out...

The entire universe displays God's fingerprint and this is just one example...the cross of Jesus was on the mind of God even as he was creating the universe.

Putting that picture back in our heads, Louie continued in the universe focusing on the stars with the purpose of showing us just how small we are and how BIG God is. We serve a BIG God!!Louie took us to a few stars and put it into perspective:If the earth was a golf ball...The sun would be 15 feet in diameter. Another star would be the equivalent of 6 empire state buildings, Or 2 golden gate bridges. We are so very very small...Our significance is in our insignificance. God cares for us so much that his same fingerprint can be found within us.

Louie then looked within the human body and showed us just how great our God is. When we are developing in our mothers womb...just for the eye to function a million nerve endings start to travel to the eye and another million from the eye to the brain, these nerve ending meet up and have to find their EXACT match in order for the eye to work...that is AMAZING to me. Though he went into more details the "finale" of the talk was this...LAMININE. Every living creature has laminin inside of them...the purpose of laminin is that it basically keeps our bodies from falling apart. It holds us together as one united whole. Wanna see what laminin looks like??? I know you do....check this out!

The cross is EVERYWHERE...it casts a shadow over the entire universe...constantly reminding us of what Jesus did for the world. words escaped my mouth the moment Louie put this on the screen so I will leave you with that...Laminin. wow
Thank you to the nice man I borrowed this from. I felt the exact same way after watching the video...perfectly speechless...and those of you who know me, know that that doesn't happen very often. Go to GodTube.com. Just click on that link that says GodTube there and it should take you to the video and you can watch it for yourself. It was an incredible video. I felt like I really needed to share this with you all.
